Brief Answer:
Visit doctor as soon as possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

You should visit doctor as soon as you suspect pregnancy. After that the visit should be every 4-6 weeks during the beginning of your pregnancy, every 2-3 weeks after 30 weeks, and after 36 weeks, every 1-2 weeks until you go into labour.

Regarding good doctors in your area please contact customer care team and they will be better able to help you.

Firstly you should start taking folic acid supplements. Avoid heavy work and lifting heavy weights. Long and unnecessary journeys are best avoided. Take adequate rest. Take food as much as you want. Smaller and regular meals are better. Milk and fruit intake should be adequate. Fatty foods are also good especially in early morning. Avoid papaya or other foods that are considered abortifacient. Avoid medicines. If you really need some medicine, please consult your obstetrician first.

Otherwise pregnancy is a very natural event and there is nothing to be worried about.

Wish you best of health. Thanks
